Williams ducked to avoid the gunfire and then looked up and saw one of the suspects running toward his vehicle, Sgt. Williams said. Williams then exited the truck and ran toward his house, and the suspects took the truck and left the area, the sergeant said.

A short time later, three Saginaw police officers and Michigan State Police troopers recovered the vehicle and arrested Johnson near North Seventh and Carlisle on Saginaw's North Side, Williams said.

Prosecutors charged Johnson on Tuesday, April 1. Carjacking carries a maximum penalty of life in prison.

In arraigning Johnson on Tuesday, Saginaw County District Judge Terry L. Clark entered a not guilty plea on his behalf and ordered him held on a $100,000 bond.
